Of Danish origin, Havarti is a mild cheese, with a moist-looking, yellowish
exterior. It has an ivory-coloured body with irregular openings; a supple,
creamy consistency; and a pronounced, buttery smell. It is available in a creamy
version, as well as flavoured with caraway, dill, herbs and spices, jalapeno,
and tomato. A light, low cholesterol version is also available. This
cheese is superb melted, sliced, in sandwiches or salads, or served with fruits
or vegetables, and is also a splendid addition to a cheese tray.
